Samrub Samrub Thai (Thai: สำรับสำหรับไทย; RTGS: Samrap Samrap Thai) is a restaurant in Bangkok, Thailand focused on traditional and regional Thai cuisine. It was awarded a Michelin star in 2023.

History

[edit]

Owned by chef Prin Polsuk and his wife Thanyaporn "Mint" Jarukittikun (Thai: ธัญญพร "มิ้นต์" จารุกิตติกุล),[1] Samrub Samrub Thai grew out of a post-work gathering of chefs that began in 2015.[2][3] Polsuk and Jarukittikun started the restaurant in 2017, and it found a permanent location off Charoen Krung Road in 2019. It later moved to Silom[4] and in 2024 to larger quarters in Sala Daeng.[5]

Samrub Samrub Thai received a Michelin star in December 2023,[6][7] and it was listed as number 29 on the Asia's 50 Best Restaurants 2024 list.[8][9][10]

Restaurant

[edit]

Samrub Samrub Thai occupies the lower floor of a renovated 4-story building where Polsuk and Jarukittikun live.[2][8][11] Jarukittikun designed the interior, which has black wood and brick floors; the kitchen staff's uniforms are decorated with motifs based on past menus, and the restaurant's logo, a hybrid of a dog and a pig, developed out of an image of a pineapple.[2]

Cuisine

[edit]

Samrub Thai means "for Thai";[1] the restaurant serves Thai food, showcasing regional cuisines, lost dishes, and local ingredients.[3][12][13][14] Polsuk and Jarukittikun were featured in the chili pepper episode of Omnivore, a documentary series created by René Redzepi and Matt Goulding.[15][16]
